John 3:20 in Context — John 3
18 Celui qui croit en lui n’est point jugé; mais celui qui ne croit pas est déjà jugé, parce qu’il n’a pas cru au nom du Fils unique de Dieu.
19 Etce jugement c’est que, la lumière étant venue dans le monde, les hommes ont préféré les ténèbres à la lumière, parce que leurs œuvres étaient mauvaises.
20 Car quiconque fait le mal hait la lumière, et ne vient point à la lumière, de peur que ses œuvres ne soient dévoilées;
21 mais celui qui agit selon la vérité vient à la lumière, afin que ses œuvres soient manifestées, parce qu’elles sont faites en Dieu.
22 Après cela, Jésus, accompagné de ses disciples, se rendit dans la terre de Judée; et là il demeurait avec eux, et il baptisait.
